Just a small correction. Nora. Trudeau did not call the leaders of Israel "bloodthirsty" he called them the "democratically elected leaders of Israel."

He doesn't deserve recognition for calling the Israeli leaders bloodthirsty.

So much to say.

So many questions.

Filled with anger.

For now, sending gratitude for your work.

No, that's what he called Hamas.

At this point, if Poilievre wins and he wants to cut funding to the CBC, all I can say is good riddance. And take TorStar, Nat Post, and G&M with you. The Ukraine and Gaza wars have shown us what a pathetic bunch of hypocrites the mainstream media is. Fuck ‘em all.

As a kid growing up in the ME and speaking fluent French, used to get my news from RCI radio broacast. Some years later, and as a Canadian citizen, my source of the news comes from Al Jazreera and RT, the irony. Thanks for shedding some light on the decline of the Canadian media.

Meanwhile in Gaza:

Found: A 500-Meter Hamas Tunnel Network which attached to a school operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in the City of Rafah in Southern Gaza.

It was destroyed earlier today.

And some history. Give it a try. Reduces ignorance.

Beyond enlightening. Maybe a tad too much information for your audience though? Let's see...

I recommend jumping in to minute 18:00 ...

As always Nora, I love the work that you do and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate this. Especially at a time like this, with Canada's media consistently not telling us an accurate and honest look into what is going on... I admire your strength and dedication beyond words. Yours truly, Evan. Keep doing your thing!

The non-existent "Palestinian State" is an ICC member. But Israel is not. Nor the US. Nor Russia. Just one blazing example of how irrelevant they are. Meanwhile, Sinwar in Gaza since October 7th and responsible for the murder of 1000+ civilians and holding international hostages and yet -- somehow no warrant from the ICC for his arrest, until now? A complete joke, not taken seriously by anyone except for loser indy journalists like yourself who find themselves cheering for Hamas and a global Intifada.

Writes Nora: "Just look at how popular Justin Podur’s The Anti-Empire Project is..."

13.6K subscribers -- lmao! -- not a number that indicates "popularity" by any stretch of the imagination. That is a number that would suggest they've brought their friends and family on board, at best.

Nora is projecting, as she wishes she could find 200 subscribers.

Meanwhile, here's another perspective to consider:

I have to agree that Canadian media coverage of Israel and Israel oppression of Palestinians has been woefully inadequate. That likely results from the political power of Zionists and other pro-Israel groups in Canada, including Christain evangelists who are often fanatical supports of the Jewish state.

Thank you for your analysis and persistence! The failure of mainstream media to offer balanced, ethical coverage on the genocide in Gaza is appalling!
